Sometimes I want to grab dinner on my way home. Where do you go near Grand Central to have a quick meal or grab some food to go before catching a train at Grand Central? TIA.

You don't need to leave the station, really. In the dining hall, I like Eata Pita, Hale & Hearty Soup, Two Boots or Dishes for a quick meal. There's also the market, where Dishes at Home, Wild Edibles and Pescatore have some ready-to-eat stuff.

I usually enter Grand Central via the Northern Passage, so I rarely end up in the main concourse. Although when I have the extra time, I must remember the options in the market as well.

You can take out any of the chowders at the Oyster Bar.

When you get sick of eating oysters, and if it's not outside of your wandering radius, check out Onya on 47th betw 3rd & Lex. They pull their udon noodles fresh every day, and the dashi broth is excellent. It can be a pretty quick meal but I don't think they do takeout.

Naya Express is a great Lebanese take away on 43rd and 3rd. Hard to beat having the option of soujuk and manakish right there.

Is Naya Express new? I miss having a local middle Eastern place since Byblos had their fire.

I like menchanko tei. Aside from the ramen, they have good side dishes, hijiki salad, torikara nanban, kimchi tofu...etc

There is a new place that opened on Lex bet 40-41 called Pasta To Go. I've walked past but never tried it. Looks interesting.
Has anyone tried it.

How about options on the north west side of Grand Central? I usually stop at Katsu-Hama on 47th or the take-out sushi place in front (not sure the name).
